Peptides act as messengers in the cellular world by telling your cells what to do. They are short chains of amino acids that are linked together by peptide bonds. Put simply, they are just small proteins, but because they are shorter than a protein chain (anything fewer than fifty amino acids) they are called peptides.

Nutrition and dietary supplements are used to combat specific deficiencies in vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes in the body. The main causes for our body to become deficient is our age, environmental factors, our diet and even the soil where our food is being grown.

At Ageing Solutions, we work with our compounding pharmacies to develop products that are tailored to individuals. In most cases, we are able to run pathology tests to ascertain deficiencies. We are all built differently, and getting generic supplements off the pharmacy shelf does not offer the same results as a tailored supplementation regime.

The causes of hair loss can be complex and multifaceted. Hair loss varies in men and women and can be a combination of stress, genetics, diet and/or medical issues such as thyroid and hormonal imbalances or prescription medication.

When it comes to hereditary hair loss, hair loss genes elicit a chemical response to signal the stem cell activity to slow down over a period of time. As the hair follicles dwindle, the result leads to thinning hair or baldness. Our programs aim to treat the underlying causes of hair loss, ultimately leading to a long-lasting and permanent solution.

Unfortunately, sexual health issues are prominent in ageing men. Erectile dysfunction is the most common and can affect confidence and sexual health. We have products that can assist with these issues, as either long-term or as-needed treatments.

Invest in your skin – it’s your biggest organ! Your skin can reveal the stories of your life, from the early days of pre-puberty baby skin to the glow of pregnancy, to the much less-welcomed imperfections which surface from sun damage and stress.

Ageing is a natural process, so our solutions aim to slow down the process.

At one stage or another we have all felt the effects of stress. No matter where it comes from, whether it be work, family, mental or physical, our body’s reaction is still the same.

Symptoms can range from:

• Physical symptoms: aches and pains, loss of sex drive, frequent colds, nausea and dizziness.
• Emotional symptoms: feeling overwhelmed, moody, agitated, or depressed.
• Cognitive symptoms: unable to concentrate, racing/scattered thoughts, and memory problems.
• Behavioural symptoms: changes in appetite or sleep patterns, isolation or self-medication in the form of prescription drugs or alcohol.

Can’t switch off at night?

Sleep regulates so many vital processes in the body, including energy regulation. A regular lack of healthy, undisturbed sleep can accelerate the aging process, slow metabolism, impair physical and mental performance, and weaken the immune system.

Sleep is vital to recharge the body and mind, repair the body at a cellular level and perform necessary healing functions.
